Kidney transplantation has been performed in Cuba since 1970. In 1979, compatible living-related donors were introduced into our renal transplantation program. There are 43 hospitals distributed around the country with a multidisciplinary group that attends cadaveric donors with encephalic death. The donor rate in Cuba oscillates between 15 and 18 per million; 90% of them are from cadaveric donors. This program includes 47 dialysis centers throughout the country with 2300 patients as supported by a National Coordinating Center at The Nephrology Institute. Cuba is one of the first countries in our region with this experience.
自1970年起，古巴就开展了肾脏移植手术。1979年，我们的肾脏移植项目引入了相容性活体亲属供体。全国分布着43家医院，有一个多学科团队负责照料脑死亡的尸体供体。古巴的供体率在每百万人口15至18例之间波动；其中90%来自尸体供体。该项目在全国包括47个透析中心，有2300名患者，由肾病研究所的国家协调中心提供支持。古巴是本地区最早有此经验的国家之一。
